Method and Tool Unit for Setting a Punching Gap

摘要

A tool unit (II) includes an ability to change the width (B) of a punching gap between a first tool (12) and a second tool (13). A plurality of second tools (13) jointly form a die tool with a circumferential die cutting edge in which the first tool (12) can engage with a cutting edge (22). Between the cutting edge (22) of the first tool and the respective cutting edge (21) of a second tool (12) a punching gap (23) is formed with a width (B) measured between the cutting edges (21, 22) across the working direction (A). Via lamping means (33), the deformation force acting on a second tool (13) can act transversely to the working direction (A), whereby the position of the affected cutting edge (21) and, with it, the width (B) of the punching gap (23), can be changed and set.

1. Method for setting a punching or cutting gap (23) on a tool unit (11) of a punching or cutting machine (10), wherein the tool unit (11) comprises one first tool (12) and at least one second tool (13), the method comprising:
moving the one first tool (12) and the at least one second tool (13) relative to each other in a working direction (A), wherein the punching or cutting gap (23) exists between the first tool (12) and the at least one second tool (13) transversely to working direction (A), and setting the width (B) of the punching or cutting gap (23) in a transverse direction (Q) by deforming the second tool (13).
